By Aaron Burgin
ENCINITAS — Mr. Peabody’s patrons, you can dance. The Encinitas Planning Commission unanimously granted the Old Encinitas bar a permit that would allow its patrons to dance, reversing a ban that gained national attention after many likened it to the movie “Footloose.” “Dance your hearts out,” Commissioner Kevin Doyle told the 50 people who came out to support Mr. Peabody’s at the Jan. 17 hearing.

San Onofre officials: ‘No risk’ of widespread radiological catastrophe By Samantha Taylor
REGION — Southern California Edison and a leading nuclear waste expert have called two recently published reports describing “fatally flawed” conditions at a nuclear waste storage facility “untrue and misleading.” One of two reports examining the decommissioning San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) published by the Samuel Lawrence Foundation examined damage caused to the steel
canisters as they are lowered into dry storage vaults and how sea-level rise could lead to water getting into the vaults. The reports estimated that a major release of radiation from the site could cost Southern California as much as $13.4 trillion over a 50-year period and endanger millions of residents who live near the San Onofre site, located on the coastline between Oceanside and San Clemente. The nonprofit organization
used economic impact modeling software to estimate economic losses from diminished activities that would stem from a potential radiation-spreading incident within evacuation zones of one, 10 or 50 miles over one to 50 years. Southern California Edison and SONGS released a response to the reports, calling the $13.4 trillion figure “misleading” and stressing that there is “zero possibility” of a radiological catastrophe that would affect anything
